GQ.... PLEASE do this with every team.
-
Like Carlos said: How is this team not winning
-
This is why Lando is my favorite driver. He does these types of things and looks like he's enjoying it. Not that he's forced to.
-
Going down an F1 rabbit hole as a new fan. This was super interesting and would love to see more with other teams!
-
Very few people know that the only F1car to ever win the F1 world championship with a V12 engine was the McLaren MP4/6 in 1991. No other V12 engine F1 car has ever won the championship. Coincidentally MP4/6 was also the last ever F1 car to win the F1 championship with a manual gearbox. Also Senna's last championship winning car. Such a special car on so many levels. Statistically the "best" drivers car of history in that regard. I wish McLaren realized this as much as the world does.

Him saying Monaco is the most fun to watch…
-
For non F1 Fans: this is the most in depth exciting thing going
-
Really loved watching this! I'm an avid F1 fan and have been for years and it's rare to get this behind the scenes access!
-
bro called Monaco the most fun race to watch
-
Swapping out the replica (5:43) for the real trophy was Max's suggestion😆He originally gave that advice to Daniel in their final 2018 "On the Couch" episode
-
this was an amazing and unexpected treat for someone who went down an F1 youtube rabbit hole. great content.
-
What is amazing when you follow the history of these racing teams. The attention to every small detail to advance and compete . What a great job working here .
-
'what's setting you back these days? A think a small 25 million" had me laughing
-
An entrance the f1 20 year ago. The place looks modern AF but their wind tunnel is considered "old"
-
Crazy to think neymar price was €222mill and the HQ is £300mill.
-
This is so sick!!! so much history
-
10:32 I just realised how focused and serious Lando looks here, and it's taking some getting use to..
-
It’s very interesting to hear Lando speak of the older eras of F1. What is different to drivers of the past is that when they would talk of the old cars it was more of a novelty, whereas now, drivers increasingly show that they’d actually prefer to drive the cars of the past. Better looking, smaller, lighter, louder. It’s properly sad to see current drivers risk injury and financial ruin, only to then get to F1 with the cars we have today (massive, heavy, hybridised and halo device fitted). It’s strange to say, but part of me feels sorry for them, because they’ll never get to race the type of cars that got them interested in the sport to begin with.
-
Quite a magnificent facility for a back marker team.

Love the star wars style credits, subtle but amazing. love the episode
